The water pump runs off the cam belt, so its out with the floor, strip the front of the engine, remove the cam belt cover, remove the cam belt, remove the fuel pump pulley, then you can remove the water pump. Whilst your at it, if the thermostat hasn’t been changed, do it, and its O-ring seal with the water pump. There are two bolts on the back of the water pump that secure the fuel pump, so they need to be removed. When rebuilding, fit a new cam belt.
Toyota thermostat 30mm x 10mm 90916-03046
Toyota thermostat O-Ring 16325-63010
ADL Water pump ADL ADT39114
ADL timing belt ADL ADT37515
The best advise to anyone planning on replacing their cam belt is to also replace the water pump. For less than £40 its worth it to save the labour.

Thanks Guy's.
Thanks for the advice.I am going to tackle the below jobs as phase one,once these have been completed I will move on to phase two which will deal with ball joints, gators and steering.
I have now put 50/50 antifreeze,i also intend to buy a water pump,stat,cam belt and have my garage fit these and by getting these parts fitted it will service 2 things
1,it will be a good way to see if there is any problems connected
2,it will make good preventive maintenance for the summer trips this year
I am also buying the turbo oil feed pipe and gaskit and i have a rusted water bypass pipe (part no 16268-64050) which will be renewed,hopefully the above work will fixs my water/oil leaks at best and help pin point the leak at worst.
I have checked my discs and they are still in good condition,i will renew the pads myself with the help of my brother.
I have already renewed all my bulbs and fitted a good pair of Champion VX51 Spoiler wiper blades
I had both rads re-cored and a brand new head fitted about 6 months back.
I am also going to renew the fuel filter,oil filter,air filter,i can not remember the last time the fuel filter was renewed,maybe it's never been renewed.
The exhaust is less then a year old and the van will have a full valet in afew weeks.I have also got 3 Litres WAXOYL made by HAMMERITE it kills old rust prevents new rust and you spray it on with a air gun( 5-6 bar pressure),its like a water proof underseal.my brother has a good workshop with all the tools.
I will keep the bok posted and hopefully move on to phase two.
Knowing that i have this web site and you guy,s to give advise has helped me formulate a plan to get my ace back in good working order,many thanks
Regards
Dennis.

Hi Dennis,
If the bypass pipe is rusted enough to leak, then you may not have a leaking water pump! If the pipe is leaking near its connection to the engine, then its right behind the water pump, and may have given the rac man the impression that both are leaking. Usually when the water pump leaks, its via the spindle at the front. Then the water is leaking inside the cam belt cover, and can be seen to be dripping out of the bottom of the covers. If you get this checked, you may be able to save some cost.
I’m not sure from your comments so far, if the cam belt has been regularly changed or not. If not or its becoming due soon, then its not a bad Idea to change it and the water pump at the same time any way.

thanks dave
point taken on board,when i first got my ace the first thing i had renew was the cam belt,that was 5/6 yrs and 60000miles ago so a cam belt change and water pump and stat and we might as well renew all 3 fan belts would serve well for this summer and going by last heatwave i feel a good move.

That was a sensible thing to do Dennis, and 60,000 miles is about right for a new cam belt, so if you do the lot in one hit, that should go a long way to preventing future overheating woes.
